String Quartets, op. 18, Volume 1

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Sacconi Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 18, Volume 1 is a set of early string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1801. Composed within the Classical idiom but showing emerging Romantic impulses, the quartets employ balanced sonata forms, close motivic interplay and increasingly adventurous harmonies, and they mark an important stage in Beethoven's development from established Classical models towards a more individual chamber-music voice.
